Deploy Agents Across Cloud Providers Without a VPN
This article introduces Pilot, a tool that enables cross-cloud agent deployment and communication without the need for complex VPN setups across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
Why it matters
Pilot simplifies cross-cloud agent deployment and communication, reducing the networking complexity and overhead typically associated with multi-cloud environments.
Key Points
- 1Pilot provides a virtual address layer that abstracts away the underlying cloud network complexity
- 2It handles address translation, NAT traversal, encryption, and per-agent trust without shared cloud accounts or VPNs
- 3Agents can migrate between cloud regions or even to local machines without changing their virtual address
- 4The solution works across organizations, with trust scoped per agent pair
Details
Deploying agents across multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) typically requires complex networking setups like VPC peering, transit gateways, and cross-cloud VPNs. Pilot offers a simpler approach by providing a virtual address layer that sits above the physical cloud network topology. It handles address translation, NAT traversal, encryption, and per-agent trust without the need for shared cloud accounts or VPNs. Agents can migrate between cloud regions or even to local machines without changing their virtual address. The same pattern works across organizations, with trust scoped per agent pair rather than requiring shared infrastructure. This allows revoking access for individual agents without impacting the entire cross-org network.
